MEDIA DEVICE WITH INTEGRATED STORAGE AND CHARGING FOR AN ACCESSORY DEVICE AND A UNIVERSAL REMOTE WITH BI-DIRECTIONAL RF AND UNI-DIRECTIONAL IR

An all-in-one consumer electronics media device (AIO-CE-MD) may include a single IR/RF/Microphone handheld remote control for controlling and/or displaying information for all CE devices of a user(s) in concert with the AIO-CE-MD operative for playback of one or more media formats (e.g., optical discs, audio, video, images, music, files, streaming media content, stored media content, and other content). The remote may be docked in the AIO-CE-MD and may have its power source recharged while docked. The remote may communicate with other CE devices and/or CE Legacy devices using bi-directional RF and/or uni-directional IR signals. The AIO-CE-MD may wirelessly communicate RF signals to speaker(s) coupled with dedicated internal/external amplifiers, and may wirelessly communicate with microphone(s) and/or speaker(s) and apply algorithms for optimizing audio quality.
